However, pigs are affected by their health and environment and cannot express their true traits, so various testing stations have emerged on the market to accurately obtain the phenotypic traits of pigs.

[0003] As is well known, existing measuring stations include feeding stations and weighing stations. However, when pigs feed at the feeding station, they arch the feed trough, causing it to shake and stick to the wall, which affects the weighing and makes the weighing results inaccurate.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the above problems has become a key research topic in the existing technology field. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a livestock feeding station and measuring equipment, which solves the above problems.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: through the design of the weighing sensor, the weight of the feed in the feed trough can be weighed in real time, thereby monitoring the feed intake of pigs in real time; through the design of the limiting mechanism, the position of the connecting mechanism can be limited, thereby limiting the position of the feed trough, thus restricting the feed trough to the center position inside the main frame, ensuring that the feed trough does not hit the wall, and ultimately ensuring weighing accuracy.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a weighing spring, a connecting member, and a connecting rod. The weighing sensor is connected to the connecting member via the weighing spring, the connecting member is connected to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected to the material container.

[0015] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a first limiting member for limiting the horizontal rotation and upward movement of the connector, and a second limiting member for limiting the downward movement of the connector, both the first limiting member and the second limiting member being disposed on the main frame.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner feeding frame is equipped with an ear tag reader for reading livestock ear tag information.

[0017] Furthermore, the main frame is also provided with limiting baffles around its perimeter for limiting the position of the material basin.

[0018] Furthermore, the limiting baffle is an L-shaped structure, which is fastened to the front edge of the material basin.

[0019] Another aspect of this utility model discloses a livestock feeding measurement device, including the above-mentioned feeding station, weighing station and controller.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Main frame 1, with load cell 2 installed on the main frame 1;

[0029] Weighing sensor 2, one end of which is mounted on the main frame 1, and the other end is connected to the feeding inner frame 3 through a connecting mechanism;

[0030] Feeding inner frame 3, the lower part of which is connected to feed trough 4;

[0031] And a limiting mechanism for positioning the material basin 4 in the center position inside the main frame 1, with one end of the limiting mechanism connected to the main frame 1 and the other end connected to the connecting mechanism.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: through the design of the weighing sensor 2, the weight of the feed in the feed trough 4 can be weighed in real time, thereby monitoring the feed intake of pigs in real time; through the design of the limiting mechanism, the position of the connecting mechanism can be limited, thereby limiting the position of the feed trough 4, thus limiting the feed trough 4 to the central position inside the main frame 1, ensuring that the feed trough 4 does not hit the wall, and ultimately ensuring the weighing accuracy.

[0033] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the connecting mechanism includes a weighing spring 5, a connecting member 6, and connecting rods 7. The weighing sensor 2 is connected to the connecting member 6 via the weighing spring 5, the connecting member 6 is connected to the connecting rods 7, and the connecting rods 7 are connected to the material container 4. The weighing spring 5 provides buffer protection for the weighing sensor 2. The connecting member 6 has an I-shaped structure, and there are four connecting rods 7, each connected to one of the four corners of the connecting member 6. The four connecting rods 7 connect the four corners of the material container 4, thus allowing the material container 4 to be stably installed onto the connecting member 6.

[0034] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the bottom of the weighing spring 5 is connected to the connecting piece 6 through the buffer spring sleeve 8. Through the design of the buffer spring sleeve 8, it not only has the function of buffering and absorbing shock on the weighing sensor 2, but also has the function of limiting the connecting piece 6, further ensuring that the material basin 4 is in the center position.

[0035] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the limiting mechanism includes a first limiting member 9 for limiting the horizontal rotation and upward movement of the connecting member 6, and a second limiting member 10 for limiting the downward movement of the connecting member 6. Both the first limiting member 9 and the second limiting member 10 are mounted on the main frame 1. The design of the first limiting member 9 and the second limiting member 10 allows for limiting the connecting member 6 in all four directions, i.e., limiting the connecting member 6 in the up-down, left-right, and front-back directions, thereby ensuring that the material container 4 is in a centered position and ensuring weighing accuracy.

[0036] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the inner feeding frame 3 is provided with an ear tag reader 11 for reading livestock ear tag information. Through the design of the ear tag reader 11, it is associated with the pig's ear tag, thereby sending the pig's identity information to the controller 14.

[0037] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the main frame 1 is also provided with limiting baffles 12 around its perimeter for limiting the movement of the feed trough 4. The limiting baffles 12 are L-shaped and are fastened to the front edge of the feed trough 4. Through the design of the limiting baffles 12, the movement of the feed trough 4 is restricted when the pigs push against it.

[0038] Another aspect of this utility model discloses a livestock feeding measurement device, including the above-mentioned feeding station, weighing station 13 and controller 14. The weighing station 13 is set up corresponding to the feeding station, and the controller 14 is electrically connected to the feeding station and the weighing station 13 respectively. When the livestock enters the weighing station 13, the feeding station is used to weigh the amount of feed consumed by the livestock, and the weighing station 13 is used to weigh the weight of the livestock. The information on the amount of feed consumed and the weight of the livestock obtained by both are then fed back to the controller 14.

[0039] It should be noted that the weighing station 13 includes a weighing pressure sensor and a weighing inner frame connected to the weighing pressure sensor. When a pig enters the weighing inner frame, the weighing pressure sensor weighs the pig and sends the weight information to the controller 14. The controller 14 is a PLC controller, which is a common automated control device in the mechanical field and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] Among them, the design of the feeding measurement equipment enables accurate weighing of pigs, recording of daily weight gain, recording of feed intake, and recording of feed conversion ratio. These accurately measured phenotypic records of breeding pigs are sent to the controller 14 for analysis, which will greatly help support the breeding of breeding pigs.
